Method Detail

addListener

@Incubating
MockitoFramework addListener(MockitoListener listener)
                             throws RedundantListenerException

Adds listener to Mockito. For a list of supported listeners, see the interfaces that extend MockitoListener.

Listeners can be useful for engs that extend Mockito framework. They are used in the implementation of unused stubbings warnings (MockitoHint).

Make sure you remove the listener when the job is complete, see removeListener(MockitoListener). Currently the listeners list is thread local so you need to remove listener from the same thread otherwise remove is ineffectual. In typical scenarios, it is not a problem, because adding & removing listeners typically happens in the same thread.

If you are trying to add the listener but a listener of the same type was already added (and not removed) this method will throw RedundantListenerException. This is a safeguard to ensure users actually remove the listeners via removeListener(MockitoListener). We do not anticipate the use case where adding the same listener type multiple times is useful. If this safeguard is problematic, please contact us via Mockito issue tracker.

For usage examples, see Mockito codebase. If you have ideas and feature requests about Mockito listeners API we are very happy to hear about it via our issue tracker or mailing list.
